New Year's Resolutions 2008 - #1 Get Out of Debt

 

As Mr Micawber said, in Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield, "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds nought and six, result misery."

One of the New Year's Resolutions for 2008 that many people will be making will be to 'Get Out of Debt'.  Basically there are 2 routes you can take to achieve this goal. 

1.  Use your current income more wisely.

2.  Increase your income.

This page looks at both methods.
